Had AWD cars with all-season snow-rated tires before, I'm hoping my next car would be CRV PHEV, but as I live on the mountain and have Clarity for now, I'm looking to get some winter tires. I want to get the dedicated rims too and I remember reading somewhere that a lot of people prefer to get different size (width?) winter tires/rims than the stock Clarity. So if I were to get the different size winter tires, what would be the best size to get and what kind of rims (and a spacer?) would I need for these? Just for reference below is information from the sticky post: Tires: Tire size 235/45R18 94V OEM is Michelin AS Energy Saver 55,000 mile warranty, non directional Wheel size 18 x 8J ET 50 Bolt Pattern PCD 5x114.3 36 psi, cold The Tire and Rim Association recommends the Forward Cross for FWD nondirectional Tires and rims as does Honda in our manual
there's a good thread here: https://www.insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/snow-tires.6428/ My two cents is that I stayed stock with wheel size, got Bridgestone Blizzaks, and love em. I trust my Clarity in the snow as much as any any small AWD SUV (between wife and kids we've got a couple of Foresters, an Outback, and a Mazda CX-5).
